In this Medical Product Outsourcing interview, our R&D Engineer, Patrick Haney, tackles the two most common questions: What is micromolding? And when is it needed?
Diving deep into this topic, MPO’s editor-in-chief Sean Fenske asks Patrick:
What are the primary differences between traditional injection molding and micromolding?
- For what applications is micromolding being used for medical device manufacturing?
- Are there material restrictions with micromolding? Are there materials you can’t use?
- What’s the smallest you can get with micromolding? What are the current challenges in going smaller?
- Earlier, you mentioned testing is different with micromolding. What about verification? And how do the techniques and technologies differ?
- What are some of the most misunderstood aspects of micromolding, and how do you help to clarify these?
Learn how micromolding isn’t just a miniaturized version of injection molding, but a fundamentally different approach and process.
